The present invention is described in further detail below (the main steps are shown in the flow chart of FIG. 7)
1. Screening of active ingredients of start-stop nerve-soothing soup and prediction of action target thereof
1.1 screening method and analysis platform
Searching all chemical components of the six medicinal materials by using polygala tenuifolia, acorus gramineus, lotus plumule, schisandra chinensis, coptis chinensis and cinnamon as keywords according to a traditional Chinese medicine system pharmacological analysis platform (TCMSP), (https:// tcmspw.com/tcmsp.php) and BATMAN-TCM database, and establishing an open-close nerve calming soup chemical component database.
Oral Bioavailability (OB) refers to the relative amount of a drug reaching the systemic circulation after oral administration, and high oral bioavailability is an important indicator of whether a drug has biological activity; the drug-like property represents the similarity of a compound with known drugs.
The method takes the oral bioavailability threshold OB of more than or equal to 30 percent and the drug-like property of more than or equal to 0.1 as screening conditions, selects the compound with higher bioactivity by evaluating the in vivo process of the compound, and establishes an open-close nerve-soothing soup active ingredient database.
Potential action targets of the active ingredients are searched through a TCMSP database and a BATMAN-TCM database, target data are processed through a UniProt database (https:// www.uniprot.org /), and a species is selected as a person to be normalized and standardized.
The search of TCMSP database and BATMAN-TCM database shows that 45 active compounds meet the screening condition, wherein, the polygala root contains 6, the acorus gramineus contains 4, the lotus plumule contains 9, the schisandra (south) contains 5, the coptis contains 11, the cinnamon contains 10, some components are shared by 2 or more than 2 medicines, the shared components are removed, and the total amount of 44 active components is total. Specifically as described in table 1.
TABLE 1 effective active ingredients of decoction for tranquilizing mind
Figure BDA0003469949980000071
Figure BDA0003469949980000081
Searching potential action targets of 44 active ingredients through a TCMSP database and a BATMAN-TCM database, and carrying out normalization and standardized naming on target data through a UniProt database to finally obtain 336 potential targets of the active ingredients of the six medicinal materials; from the results, it can be seen that many compounds are predicted to be directed against the same protein target. The active compound and the potential target protein generate a network diagram, wherein the network diagram has 386 nodes and 978 edges.
2. Screening of autism disease targets
2.1 screening method and database platform
In three online databases of Gene Cards, Dispenet and OMIM, the Autism disease related target Gene is searched by taking 'Autism' as a keyword. GeneCards is a comprehensive database that automatically integrates data for approximately 125 network-derived genes (including genomic, transcriptomics, proteomics, etc.). Distenet is a discovery platform that contains one of the largest publicly available set of genes and variants associated with human disease. OMIM is an abbreviation for "0 nline Mendelian Inheritance in Man", namely, on-line "human Mendelian Inheritance", which is a database of human genes and genetic disorders. Finally, a common target shared by the three databases is retained as an autism related target, while other targets are deleted.
2.2 screening results and analysis
6790 autism disease-related target genes are screened out from three online databases, namely Gene Cards, Dispenet and OMIM. Combining the obtained target of the autism disease with the target of the compound active ingredient obtained in the item 1.1, and obtaining the active ingredient target-autism intersection target genes by using a Venny 2.1.0 online mapping tool, wherein the intersection target genes are regarded as potential targets of opening and closing tranquilization soup for treating autism. According to the opening and closing nerve calming soup target database and the autism related target database, 209 intersection genes are discovered together, and the genes are considered as potential action targets for opening and closing the nerve calming soup to treat autism.
3. Constructing an active compound-target-autism network for opening and closing the tranquilization decoction
3.1 visual analysis method for opening and closing nerve-soothing soup active compound-target-autism network
A cytoscape3.8.2 software is utilized to construct a compound-target-autism network for opening and closing the tranquilizing decoction, and the relation between an active compound and a potential target in the opening and closing the tranquilizing decoction is clarified.
In order to better understand the complex relationship between all bioactive compounds in the start-stop and tranquilization decoction and the related target points of autism, a network diagram of start-stop and tranquilization decoction active compound-target point-autism is established, as shown in fig. 1.
As shown in FIG. 1, it is found that 44 active ingredients in the start-stop tranquilizing decoction correspond to 209 potential targets according to network analysis, and 259 nodes are formed, and 742 interactions are performed. The number of connections was calculated using the analysis tool "NetworkAnalyzer" in Cytoscape 3.8.2. The first six ingredients are quercetin, kaempferol, luteolin, 4' -methylhenbane Wuyama alkaloid, S- (2-carboxyethyl) -L-cysteine and oleic acid.
4. GO functional annotation and KEGG pathway enrichment
4.1 analytical methods and databases
To investigate biological functions associated with potential targets, we performed Gene Ontology (GO) functional annotation and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis via the metascape online database (https:// metascape. org /). Metascape is a powerful gene function annotation analysis tool that can help us to apply the currently popular bioinformatics analysis method to the analysis of genes and proteins in batches. Among them, GO enrichment analysis was used to interpret and annotate genes by three-dimensional dimensions, including Cellular Component (CC), Molecular Function (MF), and Biological Process (BP) analysis. KEGG pathway enrichment is used primarily for pathway analysis. In addition, the species defined as "Human" contains at least three genes, and p values of 0.05 or less are considered to have statistical significance. And (4) reserving enrichment items with q values (namely corrected P values) less than 0.05, sorting the enrichment items according to the q values, and outputting a histogram. And (3) importing the KEGG passage enrichment result and intersection target gene information into Cytoscape3.8.2 software, constructing a target-passage enrichment network, and realizing the visualization of the enrichment analysis result.
In order to further verify whether the biological functions of the candidate targets are related to autism, GO and KEGG enrichment analysis is carried out through a metascape online database. Three GO entries were analyzed, including CC, MF, and BP, with the top 10 enrichment results for each entry shown in fig. 2. 2581 entries (P value < 0.05) were obtained by GO functional annotation analysis, including 2229 biological processes, 124 cell compositions, 228 molecular functions. The analysis finds that the biological process of the intersection target mainly relates to the reaction of cells to organic cyclic compounds, the reaction to injury, the reaction to inorganic substances, the circulatory system process, the inflammatory reaction and the like; cellular composition relates to the postsynaptic membrane, membrane rafts, receptor complexes, components of the postsynaptic membrane, and the like; molecular functions are mainly focused on neurotransmitter receptor activity, nuclear receptor activity, adrenergic receptor activity, catecholamine binding, and the like.
In addition, 347 KEGG pathways were found. The KEGG enrichment analysis shows that 209 potential targets are closely related to several key pathways related to autism, such as AGE-RAGE signaling pathway, calcium signaling pathway, CAMP signaling pathway, dopaminergic synapse, VEGF signaling pathway, cholinergic synapse, 5-hydroxytryptamine synapse, and the like. The first 20 abundant KEGG signal pathways are shown in figure 3. These findings suggest that calcium signaling pathways, CAMP signaling pathways, and 5-hydroxytryptamine ergic synapses may be the primary mechanism for opening and closing tranquilization soup for autism. And constructing a composition-target point-path-disease diagram of the opening and closing nerve-soothing soup according to the results for visual analysis, and referring to fig. 6.
5. Construction of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks and screening of core targets
5.1 analysis method and database platform
Protein-protein interactions (PPI) are crucial in the regulation of biological systems, uploading the intersection target genes obtained in item 1.2 above to the String database. The result of selecting the option of Multiple proteins, setting the species as Homo sapiens and the confidence as 0.9, and selecting the hidden nodes to obtain the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network data of the intersection target genes is beneficial to understanding the mechanism related to the occurrence and development of diseases.
String is an online PPI analysis database that currently has the largest number of organisms (5090) and proteins (2460 million) and has a very broad and diverse baseline data source. Studies have shown that a small fraction of PPI networks with highly connected regions (subnetworks) have a higher probability of participating in bioregulation, while those nodes that are lightly connected do not play a critical role in the integrity of the entire network. Therefore, the result of the PPI network is imported into Cytoscape software for visual analysis, and all targets are clustered and analyzed by means of the MCODE plug-in unit to find important modules (subnets) in the network.
The MCODE selection criteria were:
cut-of value
=2,node cut-of value
=0.2,maximum depth=100,and k-score=2。
MCODE can detect densely connected regions in a large protein-protein interaction network that may represent molecular complexes.
In addition, further genetic confirmation that the core genes within the module are often significantly correlated with the disease state, and it is more meaningful to obtain the core genes from the PPI network than to screen individual genes without network information. Cytohubba ranks nodes in a network mainly through network functions, and provides 11-medium topology analysis methods including degree, maximum neighborhood components and the like, and MCC has better performance in the precision of predicting necessary protein from PPI network.
To further identify the central genes in potential targets, we identified the top 10 core genes using the MCC method in "cytoHubba" of the cytoscape3.8.2 software. Meanwhile, GO and KEGG path analysis is carried out on the core gene through a metascape database. Gene counts >3 and p values below 0.05 were considered as cutoff criteria. To reveal the relationship between the core gene and the possible therapeutic components.
The PPI network diagram of the intersection target gene of the open-close tranquilizing decoction and the autism is shown in figure 4, and 203 nodes and 2914 edges are shared. Two important modules with scores more than or equal to 5 are screened by MCODE, and key sub-networks and genes are screened according to the score ranking, wherein the higher the score is, the more key the genes are. See fig. 5A and 5B. And (3) performing calculation ranking through MCC functions in the cytoHubba plug-in, screening out core genes closely related to the autism, and determining the top ten core nodes.
The ten major core genes include VEGFA, IL6, TNF, INS, PTGS2, CXCL8, AKT1, MMP9, TP53, and EGF.
And then GO and KEGG enrichment analysis is carried out on the 209 intersection target genes of the start-stop nerve-soothing soup and the autism, so that the biological functions of the GO-stop nerve-soothing soup and the autism are verified, and the fact that the core gene is closely related to the autism is verified.
AKT1 participates in "calcium signal pathway", "neurotransmitter receptor activity" and "5-hydroxytryptamine synapsis", which are closely related to autism, six components of quercetin, kaempferol, luteolin, 4' -methylmercaptan, S- (2-carboxyethyl) -L-cysteine and oleic acid corresponding to central genes are identified in the decoction for opening and closing tranquilization, and quercetin from coptis chinensis and lotus plumule can be especially directed at most central genes.
Therefore, the application of the open-close tranquilizing decoction-autism core effect gene target in preparation or screening for treating autism is provided.
Further, the following action components were screened as preferable subjects: quercetin, kaempferol, luteolin, 4' -methylhenbane Wuyama alkaloid, S- (2-carboxyethyl) -L-cysteine and oleic acid.
The embodiments given above are preferred examples for implementing the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Any non-essential addition and replacement made by the technical characteristics of the technical scheme of the invention by a person skilled in the art belong to the protection scope of the invention.
